Robert Bosch has said that it is in concrete talks with several carmakers to develop hybrid engine cars.

The German automotive parts supplier said that it was in the process of submitting offers and that a decision was expected within the new few weeks.

It is reported that Bosch is negotiating with European, US and Asian car manufacturers. Other German suppliers such as Continental, ZF Friedrichshafen and Siemens VDO are also bidding to supply manufacturers with hybrid engine parts.

Bosch could supply key components such as electric engines, control units and electrohydraulic brakes. The first series of hybrid engine cars may be introduced by 2008.
